Like puzzles?
Then you'll love sudoku. This mind-beiid-
ing puzzle will have you hooked from the
moment you square off, so sharpen your
pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the
test!
Here's How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9
grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes.
To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through
9 must fill each row, column and box.
Each number can appear only once in
each row, column and box. You can fig-
ure out the order in which the numbers
will appear by using the numeric clues
already provided in the boxes. The more
numbers you name, the easier it gets to
solve the puzzle!

Horoscopes By Holiday
FOR SATURDAY,
JANUARY 9, 2010
The Scorpio moon is illu-
minating and intense. It's like
a lighted magnification mir-
ror that allows you to observe
surprising details on your
skin's surface that would
elude you in a normal mir-
ror. It's strangely fascinating
to focus so closely on daily
things. Stay objective, and
note the good along with the
bad. Don't let the intensity
throw you.
ARIES (March 21-April
19). You know who your true
friends are. It's easy to take
them for granted, since they
love you whether or not you
call them back right away.
Celebrate your dear ones to
remind yourself — and them
— of their importance in your
life.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). Without incentives,
things move very slowly.
You'll consider offering
someone the equivalent of a
nice bit of candy in exchange
for giving you something
you want or need. Maybe it's
a bribe, but it's a harmless
one.
GEMINI (May 21-June
21). Your loved ones need
to know that you believe in
them. Give your vote of confi-
dence wholeheartedly. Don't
say that you hope the best for
them. Being hopeful won't
do. Be certain.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). Maturity has its place,
but not today. Immaturity
will be far more effective —
and fun. Once you disclose
your childish interest, you
may just find that the world
is fttll of wonderful, playful,
impulsive people just like
you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Reach out. Lean on your net-
work of friends and acquain-
tances. Get together with
friends and talk nonstop for
hours. You'll gain support
and also a healthier perspec-
tive on your own pressing
issue.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept,
22). Someone wants to part-
ner with you but isn't sure
how to go about it. You know
who the interested party is
— just think about it a min-
ute. If anything is to happen,
you'll have to be the leader.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You are, either unofficially or
officially, in charge of making
sure a sensitive soul doesn't
engage in destructive behav-
ior. You'll act as a kind of
surrogate parent, and you'll
do an excellent job.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). You may feel unsure
about whether or not to make
a move. Your uncertainty is a
signal that means don't act.
Trust the power of stillness.
Better to do nothing than to
do what can't be undone.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
22-Dec. 21). A personal con-
nection will change the entire
course of your life. This is not
about meeting your future
spouse or boss. It's small. A
smile from a stranger could
have far-reaching effect.
CAPRICORN (Dec.
22-Jan. 19). If you feel you've
been sleepwalking lately, a
bit of nonsense will wake you
up. And maybe in your awak-
ened state you'll decide that
it's all a bit of nonsense and
then laugh until your cheeks
hurt.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). This is not a good day for
giving money away. Showing
up in person has far greater
value than sending a check.
Action is better than money.
So are words. Put your mouth
where your money would be.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Every pairing produces
a unique synergy. The bond
between people is an entity
in and of itself. It has a qual-
ity that can never be dupli-
cated. You will gain joy and
knowledge as you observe the
energy between people.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY
(Jan. 9). You figure out what
people need even before they
realize they need it. You'll use
this skill to provide something
that delights others, and they
will pour on the gratitude and
adoration. You'll exchange
both friendly and roman-
tic gestures this month. An
injustice will be rectified in
February. Finances improve
in April. Virgo and Scorpio
people adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 9, 25, 39, 14
and 20.
JANUARY
MAKEOVER MADNESS
- NEW YEAR, NEW
YOU:
Makeovers aren't just for
faces. How will your life blos-
som this year? Scorpio has
some dreams that didn't
pan out last year. January
brings the chance for a redo.
It's likely that friends are
involved in the plan. Scorpio
will learn who to count on
and for what. Tailoring
requests to the people who
can fulfill them is a skill that
Scorpio could master in the
upcoming year and become
very happy in the process.
The focus that Sagittarius
chooses in January will lib-
erate this freedom-seeking
sign. Sagittarius will become
masterful in the art of turn-
ing limitations into assets.
Sometimes accepting the
things we don't like about
ourselves makes us much
more powerful than we
would be if we endeavored to
change them. Just as a grain
of sand irritates the oyster
enough to produce a beau-
tiful pearl, within every so-
called "flaw" is the potential
for a rare jewel. Capricorn
will do some serious self-
analysis this year. Becoming
intimately acquainted with
one's own character, tenden-
cies and preferences is an
enlightening process and one
that makes Capricorn mag-
netically attractive. The self-
assurance Capricorn gains
will aid his or her endeavors
at work and in personal mat-
ters. One wise man said it
best: "Observe all men; thy
self most." — Ben Franklin
CELEBRITY
PROFILES: Challenge
is what Capricorn natives
thrive upon. For mathemati-
cian, physicist and academic
celebrity Stephen Hawking,
the universe itself provides
endless challenges, and he's
dedicated his life to unrav-
eling a few. His natal Mars
in Aries indicates bound-
less energy reserves, and it
is indeed remarkable and
inspiring how Hawking has
developed his work in spite of
physical limitations.
